TURBOCHEST Red Ascender By C.A.M.P

Product Information

The Turbochest redefines vertical movement efficiency with its dual integrated rollers—delivering exceptionally smooth rope handling and reduced device wear. Designed for rope access professionals, arborists, and technical rescuers, it offers superior performance for ascending fixed lines and navigating complex rope systems.

Unlike traditional ascenders, the Turbochest's roller system minimizes rope drag and abrasion, keeping the rope perfectly aligned within the device. This results in a smoother glide and reduced wear on both the ascender and rope. The contoured rope channel and secure closure system ensure the rope remains properly seated, even during aggressive movements such as pendulums and traverses.

Built for durability and long-term use, the Turbochest features reinforced body plates and robust connection points—especially beneficial when used with steel karabiners. An intuitive locking mechanism, along with a removable pull cord, enables fast and glove-friendly operation. For added versatility, it can be configured as a lightweight locking pulley for hauling small loads.
